Arkham Origins might not have been the greatest installment in the Arkham game series, but it did bring us some awesome villains all gunning for the bat. Now, Knight Models have brought some of the deadly assassins to the tabletop.

Deadshot is the greatest shot in the world, able to calculate angles of fire perfectly so that he can even bounce his bullets around corners. This makes him very difficult to beat in the video game, I can only imagine what he’s like on the tabletop.

Copperhead is a mistress of toxins, using them to disorientate her opponents before taking them down with her expert fighting skills. Even if you somehow manage to beat her back, you will still be doomed to die by her poisons.

Of course, sometimes the precision of an assassin isn’t what you need. Sometimes, you just want some raw brute force. That’s where the wonders of the Titan formula come in.

Joker’s Titan Clown brings some much needed muscle power to the Clown Prince of Crime’s gang. With one punch of his massive fist, this guy won’t leave much for the assassins to fight over.

With all these villainous new additions to the game, what do you think Batman’s chances are?

Has a lot of the standards for such a game…alternate activation, each character with a bunch of special abilites, etc.

The two things that I thought were interesting was that it uses a light mechanic (all games take place a night) that limits LoS unless there is a lightsource near the model, such as a street lamp. Thought that was cool.

The one thing that I’m a little hesitant on is that it seems to be rather counter-heavy. This isn’t too much of an issue since the average game seems to be 5 – 8 models but it could put some people off.

The models are a bit pricey (even if they are 35mm) but I have yet to see a single mis-fire among all the sculpts. Simply stunning.

Must admit that I am rather curious about how the game plays. There are a couple of US distributors that carry it such as miniature market mentioned above and FRPgames. The one common problem is that they are out of stock often, at least the popular ones like Batman, Joker, and Nightwing.
